Free brake fluid testing strips
 

So about a week ago I signed up for some free brake fluid testing strips for the heck of it. Got it in the mail today. 10 strips and meters. Tested for shits and giggles and works good, mine was fine seeing as I just put some fresh in not long ago. Not sure you guys would use them, but hell it's free.

Flush the ---- every year, not every other. No testing needed.

i can see that this is a way to actually tell how close fluid is to being saturated with water, not something that would be used unless you work in a dealer. some sort of liability thing.

it probably saves a lot of time by letting a car go with the fluid thats in there instead of breaking the bleeders off and ------- around for 2 hours trying to remove the rest of it.

I should probably do mine but its cold so its probably not gonna happen.

Don't you think that's a bit overkill?

Re: Free brake fluid testing strips
 

we flush that ---- every major service, 30k miles...

Re: Free brake fluid testing strips
 

I don't think I've ever owned a car for 30k miles.

Re: Free brake fluid testing strips
 

i flush every 60k or so, so far havnt had any of my cars that long :-\

Re: Free brake fluid testing strips
 

Im getting my free test strips, :6


Keep the free ---- coming.

Re: Free brake fluid testing strips
 

Damn. Ive put 100k on a car twice now. in fact if i do some math i think ive driven atleast ....300k. Ive personaly killed 2 vehicles from one metric ass ton of miles.

it is fun to buy something at like 50K and then watch it click 100K and then watch it get to beater duties.
